"Ling Yunzhi for a long time, re-ascend Jinggang Mountain..."
In 1965, Chairman Mao, who was inspecting Changsha, Hunan Province, told Wang Dongxing, deputy director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and vice minister of public security: "I am 72 years old this year, old, always dreaming at night, and often see Jinggangshan in my dreams. Would love to check it out..."
Thus, accompanied by Wang Dongxing and Zhang Pinghua, first secretary of the Hunan Provincial CPC Committee, Chairman Mao returned to Jinggangshan on May 22, after a 36-year absence.
Chairman Mao slowly drove through Ninggang Longshi and Maoping to the Huangyang Boundary.
On the Huangyang Boundary, he looked far away, waved the cane specially prepared when climbing the mountain, and recalled the magnificent past of that year to the entourage, really one by one, scene by scene, and the history was picturesque, as in the present.
Chairman Mao specifically mentioned Wan Xixian, and he said with tears in his eyes and full of affection: "Wan Xixian is a staunch follower of the revolution. ”
Speaking of which, Wan Xixian was the first person to firmly follow Chairman Mao's revolution.
Wan Xixian was born in 1906 in Huangmei, Hubei Province, and when Chairman Mao led the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the Xianggan border, he served as a party representative of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Division, 1st Regiment, 1st Division, workers' and peasants' revolutionary army.
At the beginning of the autumn harvest uprising, our party was mainly learning from the revolutionary experience of Soviet Russia in "encircling the countryside by going to the city", and as a result, the rebel contingent was frustrated in attacking the big city of Changsha.
The contingent retreated to Wenjia City, and Chairman Mao summed up the reasons for the failure at the Liren School in Wenjia City, carried out the "Wenjia City Decision-making," and transferred troops to "take the road of encircling the city from the countryside."
However, the rebel troops were subsequently ambushed by reactionary troops in Luxi Town, Pingxiang, Jiangxi, and the commander-in-chief Lu Deming was killed, and the troops were greatly reduced, leaving less than 1,000 people, and the morale of the army fluctuated.
In this way, the troops arrived at Sanwan Village in Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province, and Chairman Mao carried out a drastic reorganization--the original division was reduced to a regiment, and the party branch was established on the company, which was a "three-bay reorganization" that will forever be recorded in the annals of history.
Yu Shandu, the former commander of the First Division of the First Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, was unwilling to take the road of encircling the cities from the countryside, still less to reorganize the ranks.
As a result, some people withered, some people stood up and complained, some people quietly slipped away, and some people openly opposed the development of the Luoxiao Mountains...
At this time, Wan Xixian was the first to stand up and firmly support Chairman Mao.
He took the lead in raising his arms and shouting: "Resolutely follow Commissar Mao in the revolution."
Encouraged and inspired by Wan Xixian, the warriors shouted with their arms raised.
For a time, the slogan of "resolutely revolutionizing to the end" shot straight into the clouds.
After the reorganization of Sanwan, the rebel contingent was reduced to a regiment, with Chen Hao as the regimental commander, Han Zhuangjian as the deputy regimental commander, and Xu Shu, chief of staff; Huang Ziji, commander of the first battalion, and Wan Xixian, a party representative; Zhang Ziqing, commander of the third battalion; Wu Zhonghao, deputy battalion commander; and He Tingying, a party representative; Zeng Shi'e, commander of a special agent company; and Luo Ronghuan, a party representative.
Chen Hao, Han Changjian, Xu Shu, and Huang Ziji were all revolutionary opportunists who, after the establishment of the Red Army's first county-level red regime, the Chaling County Workers' and Peasants' And Soldiers' Government, began to covet pleasures, and even when the Kuomintang army advanced into Chaling, they had the idea of defecting to the enemy.
Lao Qin wrote last year an article entitled "Chairman Mao called him a "commander," put him above Luo Ronghuan, and then executed him, his name was Chen Hao," which focused on the ugly things that Chen Hao and others did in Chaling County, ate, drank, and had fun.
Wan Xixian, Zhang Ziqing, the commander of the third battalion, and others resolutely resisted the perverse actions of Chen Hao and others, and reported to Chairman Mao in the form of chicken feather letters to Chairman Mao who was far away in Jinggangshan.
Chairman Mao shouted badly, and set off for Chaling overnight, rushing all the way to Hukou Township, Daxu Town, Chaling County, where the first regiment was stationed.
"Hukou Lan Lan", Wan Xi first saved the flame of the revolution, which can be described as the greatest contribution.
Later, in a series of major events such as supporting Zhu and Mao Huishi, opposing the troops leaving Shonan, wan Xixian firmly supported Chairman Mao and loyally followed Chairman Mao.
Therefore, at the meeting to establish the Red Fourth Army, Wan Xixian was presumed to be a party representative of the Tenth Division of the Red Fourth Army.
At the first and second party congresses on the Xianggan-Gansu border, Wan Xixian was twice elected as a member of the Xianggan-Gansu Border Special Committee.
In January 1929, Chairman Mao, in order to break the enemy's third joint "meeting and suppression" launched against the Jinggangshan base area, prepared to lead the main force of the Red Fourth Army with Zhu De to develop to Gannan Province, leaving Peng Dehuai's Red Fifth Army and Wang Zuo's Red Fourth Army Thirty-second Regiment to hold Jinggangshan.
Considering that at that time, the "dispute between soil and guest nationality" in the Jinggangshan base area was intensifying, Chairman Mao deliberately left Wan Xixian.
The so-called "dispute between soil and Hakka" refers to the dispute between the local "indigenous people" in Jinggangshan and the local "Hakka" in Jinggangshan for land rights and interests.
In the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area, there is a saying: "The party of the Turkish nationality, the gun of the guest nationality." ”
This sentence fully shows that at that time, the Xianggan-Gansu Border Special Committee was mainly composed of Turkish personnel, while the local armed forces represented by Wang Zuo and Yuan Wencai were mainly guest personnel.
Although the contradiction between the Turkish and the guest nationality could not be completely resolved, both sides obeyed chairman Mao's leadership, especially Wang Zuo and Yuan Wencai, and even more so people who wanted to follow Chairman Mao with all their hearts, and with Chairman Mao present, both sides could coexist peacefully and politely.
Chairman Mao was worried that after he came down from the mountain, the two sides would be disunity and unnecessary internal friction would occur. After thinking about it, he felt that Wan Xixian, an important member of the leading group of the Xianggan-Gansu Border Special Committee, was the only foreign cadre with a high reputation, and was a person who was convinced by both the Turkish and Hakka nationalities, and that having him in his place could ease the contradictions between the two sides and help consolidate the base areas.
However, what people never expected was that Zhu Changkai, Wang Huai, and others in the leading group of the Xianggan-Gansu Border Special Committee regarded the content of the resolution of the Sixth NATIONAL Congress of the CPC on eliminating the leaders of the green forest in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army as the "Sword of Shangfang" and decided to kill Wan Xixian first, and then get rid of Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo.
In February 1930, the Border Special Committee issued an urgent notice to Wan Xixian, who was far away in Chaling, Hunan, asking him to immediately return to Yongxin Dawan Village to assemble and attack Yongxin County with Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo.
On his way back, Wan Xi first encountered the regular army of the Kuomintang.
After the fierce battle, although Wan Xixian got rid of the enemy army, he delayed the trip.
Zhu Changkai, Wang Huai, and others thus had an excuse to brutally kill Wan Xixian in the name of "missing the fighter.".
Shortly after Wan Xixian's death, Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo also died one after another.
Wang Zuo and Yuan Wencai were the two banners of the local armed forces, and when they were killed, their troops were taken away by Yuan Wencai's wife xie Jiaoming and Wang Zuo's brother Wang Yunlong.
The Jinggangshan revolutionary base area was thus completely lost, and it was not until liberation in 1949 that the Jinggangshan area returned to the hands of the people.
It can be said that the deaths of Wan Xixian, Yuan Wencai, Wang Zuo and others are a tragedy in the history of revolution.
